The midfield on fire led by terriffic trac and a leaders game in max. Oliver hitting targets all day The frwd line was working with some awesome ball movement into it. May and lever finally working really well together. Add some great effort from some newcomers and this is the stuff we frustrated supporters believed we could do but could not understand why we dont. Some great footage of a worried clarko all day was good to see. Go dees. Expand Well said. Cracking game. So enjoyable. Loving Langdon. Everyone obviously. That was an absolute clinic at times. Dominated them. 4 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Just going to say that Viney was immense, especially in the first half when the game was to be won. And his kicking into f50 has become exceptional. 8 1 Quote
DeeZee 7,496 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Genuine excitement all over the ground, especially with new recruits Bennell, Langdon, Kozzie and Jackson Two In the running for All Australian in Gawn and Petracca who has arrived and playing with supreme confidence. Even Omac looks solid, which leaves May and lever to perform their accustom roles. Fritsch and Weed are still young and have the attributes to successfully become reliable targets for us. Quote

Our structure looks so much better with him crashing packs and clunking marks. Great to see him get on the end of a few goals. Probably should've finished with five. Also....Luke Jackson: 14 touches, three marks (two contested), three tackles and a goal in just his second game. Early days, but Action Jackson looks super impressive. Expand So glad I claimed that name.... 5 Quote

Loved Weideman's play on the wing, got a hospital handball from a teammate and made the ball his goal while Stratton went for the cheap hit. Took a lot of guts. Expand And didn't vanders give it to Stratton afterwards. We don't have too many players that do that. 2 Quote

Maldonboy38 6,435 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 How good is it to be able to sit, watch the entire game without extended periods of gut-wrencing mistakes, and win 4 quarters!?!? The start of the 3rd quarter showed our worst, but we rallied and picked it up again. A lot of positives, especially from some young guns. Gawn, Trac, Langdon, Weid... thanks for giving me a positive Monday. And it's amazing how good our game plan looks when we hit our targets. 7 1 Quote

Pickett2Jackson 3,904 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Petracca is 6th in the league in disposals per game. His 24.5 average would be closer to 30 touches a game in a normal season without shortened quarters. Oh by the way, Oliver is 3rd. What a combo these two are! 4 Quote

While it's only a win during a long season, smashing the Hawks by 7 goals is something you can't ignore. They have embarrassed us so many times over the last decade and now it's our time to start paying them back. Trac was sublime. Gawny stood up as captain and dominated all day. Viney and Oliver were awesome in the engine room Jackson was the right pick and was terrific. Our backline made them look ordinary, and they have been building to this for weeks now. Everything is starting to come together and it is exciting to watch. Go Dees! Expand AND CLAYTON OLIVER back to AA Form 5 2 Quote

Bang Bang Bang 5,875 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 That was the most enjoyable two hours of football I can recall since we decimated Adelaide in Alice Springs a couple of years back. I can’t recall too many periods in the past 20 years where we have had a genuinely elite player. On current form, we have two. I know other teams have good players, but I think Gawn and Petracca measure up to any other player out there at present. Remember when everyone didn’t want to draft Jackson? Me too. I didn’t want him. Ruckman take 5 years apparently. I’ve seen enough after two games. Wowee. It might amount to nothing, but it’s so nice to see that kind of entertainment again on a Sunday afternoon. Especially in the middle of a pandemic. Thank you Melbourne. 10 1 Quote
The Swimming Dee 1,907 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 BIG Game next week! Today was an outstanding performance 4 Quote
Leoncelli_36 2,264 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Best game since 2018. Tracc and Gawn were immense. Ive seen a few mention it, but I reckon Langdon deserves a heap of praise. Last week was good, this week we saw exactly why we went after him. Runs and Runs and runs and hit his targets today. also thought Clarry improved as the game went on. Getting better at picking when to handball and when to kick. Still has to be a focus though. 19 Quote
